The Montana Human Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) prohibit discrimination because of a physical or mental disability.

To be protected under the Montana Human Rights Act and the ADAAA, an applicant or employee with a disability must:

  • Have a record of such an impairment; or
  • Be regarded or perceived as having such an impairment; and
  • Be able to perform the essential functions of the position with or without a reasonable accommodation.

Reasonable Accommodation

Reasonable accommodation with respect to employment matters should be coordinated with Human Resources.
